Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Gorgeous sunset view and a starry night sky

Reviewed by: Yoshiko, 2024/02/11

This is absolutely the best tour we ever had! It was cloudy before we ascend the Mt. Haleakala, but the mountain peak was above the cloud and we could watch the beautiful sunset. We even saw the shade of the Earth on the right side of the horizon after the sunset. Gorgeous!
Then the guide set up two telescopes for stargazing. We were the only group at the overlook area a bit away from the peak, it was a beautiful starry night just like a natural planetarium.
He offered us a hot drink and doughnuts, that was nice. We had a great time looking constellations, Andromeda and other nebulae, Jupiter with its stripes and four satellites and so on, very educational. I recommend this tour for anyone.

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Dina, 2023/12/28

If you want to see the rings of Saturn and Jupiter and craters of the moon then this tour is a must! Yoshi had everything taken care of for us. He had warm jackets, gloves, blankets, chairs, and a GPS computerized telescope. He was pleasant, kind, and knowledgeable. He even bought us donuts and made us hot tea! This tour was AMAZING! In our group of 4, it was a unanimous vote for the best tour of our whole vacation. We all enjoyed the beautiful sunset from a private location. Then, Yoshi brought out his personal telescope and showed us some stars, planets and the moon up close and personal. We had never seen anything like it before. We gave this tour 5 stars.

ハレアカラサイクリングツアー ダウンヒルでの爽快ツーリングが楽しめる!山頂からの日の出鑑賞やハレアカラ国立公園ツアーなど選べるプラン<午前/英語ガイド>

天然プラネタリウム、御来光、ダウンヒル、どれも最高、ka ʻoi aʻe !!

Reviewed by: マハロハ, 2023/12/19

先ずは、満点の満天プラネタリウム。ハレアカラ山頂までの道程は、日の出&ダウンヒルに備え仮眠、なんてことはもったいない!ハイテンションのガイド兼ドライバーの話も大切ですが、窓越しの夜空は、宝石箱をひっくり返した星、星、星、時に流れ星!北斗七星、カシオペア、オリオン!オリオンのお腹にこんなに星があるの、と感動!

次に、御来光。心洗われます!雲海が漂うなか、燦々とSUNRISE、ベクトル一致でしょうね。日の出待ちのすべての人が待ちわびた御来光に感動してた瞬間です。北風と太陽じゃないけど、極寒に耐えた後、心身共にホットになります。で、極寒対策ですが、決して肌の露出をされないように!目の周り以外は、ソックス、レッグウォーマー、手袋、マスクと完全防備をオススメします。

最後に、ダウンヒル。私はジェットコースター♪走り出したら止まらないよ♪爽快なサイクリングです。壮大な景観を眺めながら、もちろん安全運転は言うまでもありませんが、ペダルは必要?って感じで、知らず知らずのうちにマウイの風になってます。

ここまでコメントして、星5つでなく、星4つにした理由は以下です。ダウンヒルが、まさしくジェットコースターなんです。僅か10分かな、あっという間なんでよね、ここが少し残念。説明にある昼食後のサイクリングも無かったのが物足りないです。今回、同じコースを2本繰り返したこともありますが、同じジェットコースター2回より、ジェットコースターとバイキング的な異なるアトラクションを望んでしまうので、昼食後のペダルを漕いでも良いので、街並みのサイクリングタイムが欲しかったですね~。

  • 来たー

  • まぶしいー

  • 山頂山小屋より

  • シルバーソード(銀剣草)、見逃さないでね!

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

An unbelievable experience!

Reviewed by: Katie, 2023/12/19

We would definitely do this again! We were picked up at our hotel. The tour guide showed us many places on the way, and was very knowledgeable, as well as entertaining.
When we were on the top of Haleakala, he took us all over the national park, then to a private spot to experience the sunset above the clouds.
Then he had his telescopes set up for us to view all sorts of stars, constellations and planets. He used a laser pointer to point out everything so we knew exectly what we were looking at. I was most impressed when he showed us Jupiter and Saturn - they were exquisite!

Three cheers for tour guide Yoshikazu Yamauchi - he is the best!

Maui Haleakala Helicopter Tour with Road to Hana Sightseeing & Beachside Lunch

Hana and helicopter adventure

Reviewed by: Dave & Yvonne , 2023/10/21

David was our driver for the road to Hana and we can’t say enough good things about him. He was very knowledgeable and really made the experience exceptional! He also took great couple photos and was willing to stop for photos. We did venture into the waterfall and the black sand beach so we would recommend swim wear and towels if you are adventurous. Lunch was very good and the helicopter ride back was the icing on the cake!! Over all would rate the experience 10 out of 10.

満天の星空に浸れました。

Reviewed by: 鈴木tomo, 2023/10/18

ガイドさん運転の車で徐々に山頂を目指し、日没前に到着して待つことしばし、あたり一面雲海に囲まれる壮観な光景で暮れいく太陽を感慨深く眺めることができました。オレンジ、黄色、グリーンと様々に変化する輝きの陽射しを浴びながら
大自然を感じました。その後は急速にあたりは真っ暗に、満天の星空に浸ることができました。マウイ一番のエンタメだと思います。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

ガイドのヤマピーさんは親しみやすくお話し上手

Reviewed by: ましゃまや, 2023/10/15

9月に体験させていただきました。
車内は他のお客様はおられず私たちだけで貸切の状態での参加となりました。

クリスピードーナツやオススメフードを確保して、途中休憩を挟みながら、車で3000メートル超えの山頂へ。
防寒対策として防寒着や毛布を貸してくれ、椅子に座って暖かい飲み物をいただきながらの夕日鑑賞でしたが、ヤマピーさんとのお話しに夢中になってしまい、危うく夕日を逃すところでした(笑)
日没後は反対側に移動し、赤色から青色のグラデーションの空の中、幻想的な月を見れました。
周りが暗くなり、空を見上げながらの星座や星の説明、望遠鏡でのさまざまな天体観測が出来、非日常な体験が出来ました。

ヤマピーさんのハレアカラ登頂は3000回を超えているとのこと。安心してお任せできます。
高山病や車酔いを心配していましたが、体調を崩すことなく、そしてお話がとても興味深く、私達の話も熱心に聞いてくれて、終始楽しいツアーとなりました。
またマウイ島に行く際はお世話になります。
ありがとうございました。

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Had a great time even though it rained a little!

Reviewed by: MyDadtaughtastronomy, 2023/09/25

Overall the tour was great. Yoshi was very friendly and had everything needed for those unprepared, which was not us. Hot tea or coffee, blankets, heavy jackets, etc. The tour of the top, views of the craters and everything was great. He stopped on the way up so folks could buy food for dinner. We went from the top down to his secret spot for dinner, arriving about 40 minutes before sunset. Set up the cameras and relaxed while watching a spectacular sunset. Clouds moved in though and it got cold(er) and wet, so he took us down the hill I. Search of clear skies. It rained and we'd given up hope of stargazing when we came out of the clouds and he found a great viewing spot. We spent over an hour looking at various stellar things, as well as Saturn and the moon- the only solar system bodies in view. Overall we had a fun time. Would do again!

The views were spectacular. Our tour guide was exceptional and knowledgeable. He thought of everything (e.g., hot tea, donuts, coats, gloves). He was patient with my teens and ensured all were comfortable and warm. We saw a lot of shooting stars in addition to Venus and several constellations. Pick up and drop off from the cruise ship were convenient. This was a once in a lifetime experience.

AmAzInG!!!

Reviewed by: Jennifer H, 2023/08/04

This tour was amazing in every way!!! One of our family's favorite tours of all time!! Yoshi was an excellent driver on a rather scary road! Super safe and comfortable ride! Once we were at the top, he did the BEST job of making it a once in a lifetime experience for us. Shared lots of great information, pointed out just where to look at the perfect times. Had chairs, blankets, donuts, hot drinks, coats, you name it...he had it! Took the coolest pictures of our family during the sunset, overlooking the crater, and under the stars! The stargazing was amazing and he was especially great with our youngest as he had a step stool so she could look in the telescope easily and he took extra time with her to be sure she saw all the stars and the moon! If you do one adventure on Maui be sure it is this!!

Incredible experience!

Reviewed by: Taryn , 2023/08/04

Yoshi provides such an amazing tour and has every detail down to make sure you have the most amazing and comfortable experience. The trek up Haleakala was amazing slowly climbing above the clouds. The views were indescribable and the sunset views are going to be tough to match. The stargazing was a whole other experience that you just have to try for yourself. So grateful to have had this experience and so glad we chose Maui All Stars Stargazing!

What a night!

Reviewed by: Amber Poynter, 2023/07/20

My husband and I booked the stargazing tour with Yoshi, and it exceeded our expectations. We live in a place with so much light pollution, we never see more than a handful of stars. We've wanted to see the "dark sky" for a long time. It was just breathtaking. There really are no words and pictures can not do the experience justice. Our guide was super friendly and accommodating. During the drive, stops, and sunset/stargazing he was very informative. This is the tour to choose on your next trip! Ask for Yoshi specifically.

アヒポキと星空

Reviewed by: anny, 2023/07/15

ハレアカラ山を山ちゃんさんにに案内して貰いました。3組7人、1組はカナダから、2組は日本からの参加でした。日本語と英語での分かりやすいガイドで終始安心して楽しむことができました。

今回は混雑を考慮しクリスピークリームドーナツは寄らず、そのままハレアカラに向かいました。まずはスーパーに寄って、山ちゃんさんオススメのアヒポキを購入しました。いままでで1番美味しいアヒポキでした!同じスーパーで購入したマウイクッキーのコーヒー味もオススメです✨たくさん買ってお土産にすればよかったくらいでした。

その後、高山病を考慮して車で少しずつ登ってくださいました。1000m地点が1番目眩と頭痛を感じましたが、2000m、3000mは問題なく進むことができました。山頂は体感温度0℃程度でとても寒かったです。コートと手袋、暖かいお茶を用意してくださりました。パーカー、スウェットパンツ、ライトダウンを着用しておりましたが長時間滞在できない寒さだったため、ヒートテックを含めた防寒対策の準備をおすすめします。

足元に広がる雲海、サンセットは本当に美しかったです。特等席でみる景色は本当に贅沢でした。最後の瞬間は雲の流れで見ることが叶いませんでしたが大満足です。

こぼれんばかりの星空には涙が出そうなほど感動しました。山ちゃんさんの豊富な専門と、見たこともない専門的な望遠鏡のお陰で、プラネタリウム以上に学びながら楽しむことができました。

素敵な写真もたくさんおさめてくださりました。

またマウイ島に訪れる際は是非参加したいとと思えるツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

とにかく防寒対策を...!

This experience is a MUST if you are staying in Maui!
You will not get to do this anywhere else! And book with Yoshi, he made this experience wonderful from start to end.

We were picked up on time, and did stops to pick up sandwich on route.

Yoshi took us to the summit and then found a nice quiet place for us to see the most beautiful sunset and then the night sky full of stars! It was truly spectacular!
Yoshi was so informative and the views of the Milky Way and craters on the moon from the telescope were amazing!

It’s very cold up at the summit so pack hat, gloves and warm clothes if you are doing this experience.

Yoshi bought coats and gloves for us! And some yummy Krispy Kreme donuts

Thank you again Yoshi for this incredible experience that me and my husband will always remember! It made are trip Hawaii even more special.

We enjoyed a stunning and wonderful sunset at top of Haleakala followed by stargazing. Although the full moon made the night sky too bright and made stargazing a bit difficult, Yoshi still worked hard to review the full moon with his telescope and to show/explain to us the visible stars to ensure we had a memorable time with our family. We had a wonderful time together.

ハレアカラ山を「Maui All Starsの山内さん」に案内して貰いました。

暗くなるまでの時間は、沈みゆく太陽と足下の雲海がくりなす茜色の競演に感動しました。
陽が落ち暗くなると空に無数の星が輝き始めましたが、山内さんの豊富な専門知識と機材のお陰で、満点の空に煌めく星の名前や星座が手に取るように判り感動しました。この光景はとてもカメラには捉えられないので、心に星空を焼き付けました。
特に、滅多に見られないと言う「北斗七星と南十字星」が一度に見られ興奮しました。こんな幸運はこの先訪れないと思いますが、機会を作ってまた訪れたいと思います。
